If the soules of Tyrants might be seene more ulcers would appeare through lust than they made wounds on bodies murthered by their crueltie Of all his violencies the most execrable was the death of the Architect Ferunt Tiberio principe excogitatum vitri temperamentum ut flexibile esset totam artificis officinam abolitam ne aeris argenti auri metalli pretia detraherentur Plin. who skilfully re-edified and repaired the great portall of Rome and presented a glasse unto him brake it and gathering the peeces together instantly made it up againe having found out the secret that this substance obeyed the last office of fire and became malleable Pliny sayes hee abolished it lest gold silver and brasse should be the lesse esteemed What an ornament had it beene if from an herb which hath neither beautie sent nor is good or tastfull for man or beast a substance should bee derived hard solid and transparent Priscis temporibus summum certamen inter homines ne quid profuturum saeculu diu lateret Petr. An invention notwithstanding which the precedent ages were ignorant of his admired and ours ever may deplore for wee shall no more have men who in this kinde will bee grieved that that which may benefit posteritie should long bee concealed Tiberius intermitted none of his profuse Malus Imperator qui ex visceribus provincialium homines non necessarios nec reipublicae utiles aluit Lampr. voluptuous and superfluous expences Hee entertained from the sweat and labours of people infinite numbers not onely unprofitable but pernitious to the Common-wealth and caused those to bee put to death whose industrie might bring ornament and utilitie Oh! what disorder in the times and men The reward of an admirable invention is denyed and Sejanus selleth one of his Eunuchs for 3500. Sesterces But that was during the calamitie of the Empire and when no man was suffered to reprove his profusions Injuriam lueri fecit in luctu civilatis quoniam arguere nulli vacabat Plin. The reigne of Tiberius was much more terrible and cruell after Sejanus than it had been before Hee would not have the people repaire by his death the evils he had done in his life Augustus ordained a militarie treasurie which hee filled with three tributes as with three living sources The most pleasing tribute was the twentieth which is taken upon inheritances legacies kinred and exempt poore from the twentieth part of inheritances from the twentie-fifth upon the sale of slaves from the hundreth of all that which was in trade Tiberius having reduced the kingdome of Cappadocia into a province thought by the increase of this revenue the people should bee discharged of so much and therefore in stead of an hundred Extrancis facile domesticis grave Plin. he decreed they should pay but the two hundreth part But after the death of Sejanus as repenting himselfe of this favour he reduced it to the hundreth againe Necessitie of affaires excused it which suffers not tributes to be denyed it is a furie that catcheth the State by the throat if not appeased Those who are constituted to stand in the front of employment ought to render the people capable of this veritie Da operam ut omnes intelligant si salvi esse velint necessitati esse parendum Cic. M. Ant. in Asia after the battell of Philippi So Themistocles demanding money of the Andrians said to them he was accompanied with two Goddesses Perswasion and Constraint Plut. If you will in peace possesse particular benefits needs must you succour publique necessities When Anthony the Triumvir was sent into Asia to draw aid from thence hee gave no other reason but this Necessitie will have it so Thus saith he that you may not bee expelled from your Townes and Territories it is fit you give money for the entertainment of Souldiers There is not so much required but that you may freely part with it You gave in two yeares to Brutus and Cassius our enemies the tributes of ten wee need no more to be freed from affaires so you this one time grant it By the qualitie of tribute we may judge of the power of the tribute giver Hee drew from them 200000. tallents which was 20000. yearely amounting in all to twelve millions Nec quies gentium fine armis nec arma sine stipendio nec stipendia sine tributis haberi queunt Tac.

Tib. should sheere the sheepe not flay it and render the disposure thereof chaste sincere and pure as drawen from the bloud sweat and teares of his people for expences profitable necessarie and glorious not for profusions which neither afford contentment nor reputation Happie is the Prince who findeth honest men whom he may trust with the care of his Exchequers whereon dependeth the honour of his designes the Majestie of his Crowne the tranquillitie of his State For they are both the nerves which give motion and the veines which entertaine life and as by the resolution and shrinking of nerves the physicall body is many times deprived of motion and sence So the politique without money cannot stirre nor support it selfe In a word with revenues one accomplisheth and comes to the end of all He that hath the last Crowne gaines the triumph They are sacred the charge of them is given to Saturne or to his Temple Tunc conditus im● eruitur Templo multis intactus ab annis Romani census populi Luc. Caesar had not knowen how to ruine libertie if hee had not begun by this sacrilege robbing the treasurie of the Republique which was filled with all the spoyles of the Orient and that which the Fabricii the Scipio's the Cato's the Pompey's had by their victories acquired The first note of the desolation of a State is drawen from the uniust and irregular administration of revenues It is not enough that such as have the charge thereof bee vigilant to make the expence not exceed the receipt but it much importeth the State the meanes of particulars be husbanded without excesse Res familiaris iis rebus quaeratur à qu bus est turpitudo Cic. with order and modestie as they ought to
